Garlicky Potato Chips Recipes

GARLIC POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons minced garlic in a pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil until golden, 2 minutes. Let cool, then strain the oil. Slice 2 unpeeled russet potatoes into thin rounds with a mandoline; rinse with cold water and pat dry. Toss the potatoes with the garlic oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working in batches, spread the potatoes on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees F until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool until crisp.

SKINNY GARLIC POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on baking sheet. Coat potato slices with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are browned and crisp. (If any slices brown more quickly than others, remove them from baking sheet and keep warm.) If desired, garnish with snipped fresh chives.

HOT GARLIC POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• With mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes about 1/16 inch thick. You should have about 6 cups. Place potatoes in large bowl and rinse with cool water until the water runs clear. Thoroughly dry potatoes, first in a salad spinner, then on paper towels. (Any moisture left on potatoes will cause the oil to spatter).
• Pour oil into 6-quart heavy bottomed saucepan, 8 to 10" in diameter. The oil should be about 1 1/2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 315 degrees F.
• Gently fry the potatoes in two or three batches until light brown and crisp. Stir with slotted spoon to ensure even cooking. Each batch should take 15 minutes to cook. If the potatoes brown faster, the oil is too hot.
• As you remove each batch of chips, place them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. Place the chips in a large mixing bowl.
• Over medium flame heat butter and garlicin a saucepan, without allowing garlic to brown. Drizzle butter mixture over potatoes, add parsley, salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Serve hot.

HOT GARLIC POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• With a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick. You should have about 6 cups. Place the potato slices in a large bowl and rinse with cold water until the water runs clean. Thoroughly dry the potatoes, first in a salad spinner, then on paper towels. This is important because any moisture left on the potatoes will cause the oil to splatter. Pour the oil into a 6-quart heavy bottomed, straight-sided saucepan, 8 to 10 inches in diameter. The oil should be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2- inches deep and the pan no more than a quarter full. This prevents any bubbling over when frying the potatoes. Heat the oil to 315 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. (To check the temperature without a thermometer, drop a small piece of bread the size of a crouton into the oil. It should float to the surface and lightly brown in about 2 minutes) Carefully fry the potato slices in 2 or 3 batches until light brown and crisp. You will need to stir the potatoes with a slotted spoon almost constantly to ensure even cooking. Each batch should take 15 to 20 minutes to cook. (If the potatoes brown in much less time, the oil is too hot. This will result in a chip that is neither cooked through nor crisp.) As you remove each batch of crisp potato chips, place them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. When all the potatoes are done, place them in a mixing bowl large enough to hold them comfortably. Over a medium flame, heat the butter and garlic over the potatoes, add the chopped parsley, salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to crush the chips. Serve hot. The chips can be made several hours in advance. Store in a tightly closed container and reheat in a 350 degree oven until hot. Toss with the seasoned garlic butter at the last minute.

PARMESAN & GARLIC POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer filled halfway with peanut oil, heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Slice potatoes using a mandoline into thin strips.
• In a bowl, mix together the cheese, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper.
• Add a small amount of sliced potatoes at a time into oil. Fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the chips on a paper towel lined plate. Once drained immediately add the Parmesan mixture.
